The STAG-15 series from ECHO 1 more accurately represents the modern AR type rifle with updated matte black finished receivers which replaced the grey receivers of the older AR rifles. Each receiver is engraved with fully licensed trademarks from STAG ARMS which dramatically heightens the rifles realistic appearance. STAG ARMS manufacturers the real 5.56mm cal. rifle and is one of the largest manufacturers of AR type rifles in the United States today.

Internally these rifles have the same full metal V2 gearbox as the previously released Version 3 rifles which all come standard with an upgraded spring, steel gears, metal spring guide and metal bushings for reliable performance. There are a couple things which are new such as a more powerful motor which has made the rifles more responsive and increased the rate of fire. Also there is the addition of a more aggressive Mad Bull hop-up bucking which not only increases the strength of the hop-up but also boosts the compression resulting in a higher muzzle velocity. Due to this increased performance we highly recommend using .25g BBs in the STAG-15 rifles for best accuracy.

These rifles are designed to be Marui compatible so they will accept most all M4/M16 series magazines and upgrade parts as well!

The STAG-15 MOD4 TC (Tactical Carbine) features full A2 stock with the military issue 14.5 inch length barrel. This gives you the best of both as you are able to use a full size battery for extended run time and still have a compact size for close quarters. The stock also features an attachment point for a quick detach sling swivel (sold separately). Its carry handle is removable to reveal a weaver mounting deck. The rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation while the front sight is adjustable for elevation. Pulling back on the charging handle moves the mock bolt back to access the hop up adjustment wheel.

I just got this gun today and I must say, for a stock gun, this thing really packs. It's as solid as an airsoft gun can get, which is pretty impressive considering that it's mostly plastic. But there are plenty of metal parts to somewhat compensate. They include: front and rear sling mounts, the outer and inner barrel, magazine, dust cover, trigger assembly (I think), carrying handle, front sight, flash hider, delta ring, and a lot of the minor parts. The magazine it comes with is pretty good and a decent capacity, but it's also full metal which raises the awesomeness level a little. It's almost a perfect weight and is balanced throughout. It has a great matte black finish and nice Stag Arms logo. The stock battery is great and is also a large type, which I really like. Now for pros and cons...

this is a great gun and also a perfect example why guns that aren't full metal are better than guns that are all full metal. for the most part, not always, full metal guns suck. they either have a slow rpm or a slow fps or both. but any ways this is a great gun and here are some pros and cons:

Well I got this gun earlier today and all i can say is WOW! looks just like an m4 fullstock, but is powerful enough to hurt A LOT!!!
I can't wait for an airsoft war now, baby! This is a better verson of the original echo1 m4, if you ask me.

This gun is amazing. I got it as my first aeg and i was blown away. It can annihilate a can with 20 rounds and it can shoot through the bottom. Mine can shoot close to 200 ft when charged and the rate of fire is intense.

My friend bought this gun but he keeps it at my house so his little brother won't get to it. This thing is amazing. I've shot a few different electrics, but this one no doubt is the best out there. For what the price is, you should be getting something a lot worse. The range on this thing is around 200ft, but you kind of have to aim a little off so that the shot zings into the person. The FPS is crazy, probably around 400 when the battery is fully charged. On both semi and full auto, this gun will destroy any opposing team.

I award this gun five stars and say that if you're looking to get a decent electric that will last you a while, get this one.

I recently bought this gun and I use KSC .25's with it, as well as an 8.4v 1500mah battery. I find that this battery makes all the difference in this gun, as the ROF is quite frankly one of the most impressive I've seen on a model of this price. I did have a scary experience taking out the battery for the first time; when I pulled on on the battery, I ripped a couple wires out of the little metal connectors in the stock. If this happens to you, take off that worthless covering they have on it, reconnect the wires, and put electrical tape around it and that should fix the problem. When putting in the battery, connect the battery to the wire, then push the battery as far in as you can, then push it down so the wires can fit in. That works the best for me.

Cons:
not as much metal as I would have liked - if the foregrip isn't holding a battery, shouldn't it be metal?
high-cap mags rattle a bit, but who cares
kinda loud, but once again who cares
massive orange tip
not that many rails
hop-up is a bit too powerful
wish it was a bit more true to the iron sights but what can you expect out of any airsoft gun
I wish the front sight was removable; right in the way if you want to put a scope on it.
battery included has a little less mah than I hope for.

while the con list may look big, it's still an excellent gun.

Now I don't have a lot of airsoft guns but I must say this gun is absolutely amazing! I prefer this more than any other gun I have had! It's powerful, accurate, and most of all, trustworthy. This gun has never failed me in any skirmish. Can act as a sniper or a machine gun while playing it safe from far away. As far as M4's go, this is one of the best.

My Skirmish Battle
======================
We were playing president's men and I was the elite assassin. I had been spotted so instead of trying to hide and snipe, I started to make a run for the president. Only when I was on top of a fort one of the president's body guards shot me in the leg and I tripped. They were getting away when I jumped up and showered the guards in BB's. Then I took out my pistol and shot the president while he was on the ground. It was sooo fun.

I just got this in the mail because I'm tired of the MP5 style gun and I have to say that I'm very impressed! Yes, there is a lot of plastic on this gun, but it's very durable and you have to remember you can upgrade to metal parts down the road and everything is mauri-compatible. how can you lose?

I got this gun from a friend for my Birthday and loved it. It's heavy but durable and really cool to look at. It's pricey but it is worth it. It really shoots at between 325 and 340 fps with 2g BBs but still hurts bad. I love it and I know anyone who buys it will love it too.

when i got this gun it looked great. a few scratches but i figured it would have a few. the only thing i didn't look for when looking for this rifle was rails. the only rail on this gun stock is the one the handle grip attaches to. if looking for a easy way to get some rails, look at the tri rail attachment that holds on the barrel just ahead of the front sight. great buy even without the rails. good power and accuracy.
